⚾️ AL Divisional Series Preview

It’s time to get real in the AL, let’s take a quick peek at the two series that will decide the ALCS.

Tigers vs. Guardians: Two divisional rivals and neighbors geographically, the Tigers and Guardians go WAYYYY back. Their first matchup was May 3rd, 1901, and have played 2,356 times since then.

That’s a lot of games, but this will be their first postseason matchup. Pretty crazy to think that they played each other for the first time 123 years ago and this will be the first time they play in a postseason series. The two teams will benefit from a short road trip, and I’ll bet this one is fun to watch.

Royals vs. Yankees: This series is really interesting to me in the way that it’s two VERY different franchises. For the Yanks, this feels like an all-or-nothing season for this team.

The Yankees have never been afraid to spend money and make big moves for huge stars. That was no different this offseason when they acquired Juan Soto. The Royals on the other hand, they’re playing with house money. They have a really young squad and overachieved basically all expectations now. That’s dangerous for the Yankees who have all the pressure in the world on them.
